The Rattler

Tuesday, April 30, 2013, 6:37 a.m. – the Lord Jesus woke me with the song “Why So Downcast?” playing in my mind. Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. I read Joel 1:1-2:17 (NIV): http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Joel%201&version=NIV; http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Joel%202&version=NIV

Last night, after I had gone to bed, I had a vision: First off I saw a spider that looked like ones I had been looking at recently (found one dead in my kitchen the other day, and was trying to identify it). It was similar in shape to this spider: http://www.responsiblepestcontrolmesa.com/wolf-spider-pest-control-queen-creek-az/. It is called a “Nursery Web Spider.” They are active hunters. “Others are ambush predators that wait quietly for prey to come to them.” They look similar to wolf spiders and to fishing spiders. “Like all spiders, nursery-web and fishing spiders have 8 legs, 2 body parts, and fangs (called "chelicerae").  Nursery-web and fishing spiders have 8 eyes” (source: http://www.uky.edu/Ag/CritterFiles/casefile/spiders/fishing/pisaurid.htm).

The spiders have two body parts. This particular type spider’s second body part is sort of in a cone shape. The one I saw in my kitchen had what I thought looked like a closed tulip shape to its second body part, and it was reddish-brown in color mixed with some black. Anyway, right after I saw this image of this spider in my mind, and the image was focused around this cone-shaped or closed tulip-shaped body part of the spider I heard “Rattler” in my mind. Rattlers are also cone-shaped, so I knew I was to see this body part of this spider in relation to a rattler. Rattlesnakes are venomous. They are also predators. “They kill their prey with a venomous bite.” “All rattlesnakes possess a set of fangs…” (I noted that spiders also have fangs). The threat of poisoning from a venomous bite is advertised “by the loud shaking of the” rattle - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rattlesnake. Another definition of “venom” is “malice, spite or vicious (ferocious, malicious and violent) hostility (Encarta).  And, another explanation for the term “Rattler” appears to be that of a dog actor.

After I saw the spider and the cone-shaped body part and heard “Rattler,” then I saw an image of President Barack Obama in my mind.

A rattler can be one that rattles. It can mean “to make somebody lose composure and feel frightened, worried, confused or annoyed; a noisemaker” (Encarta). A noisemaker “makes noise,” which means “to spread the rumor or report of; talk; remarks or actions intended to convey a specific impression or to attract attention.” “The word noise can possibly be traced back to the Latin word nausea.” That brought to mind the term “ad nauseam” – “To a disgusting or ridiculous degree; to the point of nausea” (Source: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/noise).

Ok, the president did hold a press conference this morning at the White House where he discussed such topics as the situation in Syria, the “bombings” in Boston, Guantanamo Bay, Newtown (Sandy Hook), Aurora, et al. An interesting outlook on the press conference: http://www.nationalreview.com/media-blog/347007/summary-president-obamas-press-conference-today (link to full transcript included).

This is interesting in relation to this spider having eight eyes – the “Gang of Eight” is “a bipartisan group of U.S. senators” working toward immigration reform, apparently. http://immigration.about.com/. Evidently that was one of the topics at the conference.

In a recent writing, Clandestine and Subversive (http://originalworks.info/clandestine-and-subversive/), the Lord Jesus, I believe, gave me a picture of spiders (and bees), living or hatching from cells, as undercover operatives who work together for secretive purposes to overthrow governments (specifically now the U.S., though not exclusive to us), their operations being “carefully planned and orchestrated swindles.” These undercover privatized secretive quasi-military police are carried along (transported; accompanied; escorted; and/or supported) by the U.S. (and International) forces. The black and red (brownish) spider is a symbol of Hitler’s swastika, which was adopted by Hitler for use with his “quasi-military force.” This privatized quasi-military and secretive Hitler-like police force is of an autocratic, authoritarian, rigid, dictatorial global (world) government, of which our government is a part (underneath in authority), and are part of this takeover of America.

What this all means

Obama is part of this “spider,” i.e. this (or another) “gang of eight.” He and this spider are hunters and predators. The spider has two body parts. One is “The Rattler,” and the other is the part with the 8 eyes and the fangs. This spider is venomous. This spider advertises the threat of its poisoning venom (vicious, ferocious, malicious and violent hostility) via “The Rattler.” Obama, I believe, is “The Rattler,” i.e. this is what he was doing in this press conference (and in other speeches). He spreads lies, deceptions, and rumors to cause the people of this country to lose composure, to feel frightened, worried and confused. His words are intended to leave people with a specific impression and to attract attention to the messages he wants the people to receive. In other words, it is mostly a pack of lies in order to deceive the people of America, and perhaps the world, into believing things that are not true in order to fulfill a very evil purpose, i.e. the venomous bite of the snake/spider.

For the past seven years, and nearly daily, the Lord Jesus has been showing me the nature of this man in relation to prophecy of scripture, that he is of Satan, that he is extremely evil, and that he and our government are involved in espionage, the takeover of nations, the killing of innocents (including targeting those who bear the testimony of Christ and his gospel), the usage of false flag operations (covert and underhanded and malicious), and the blaming of other groups of people for their dirty work. In other words, most, if not all, of these uprisings, bombings, “natural” disasters, “terrorist” activities, wars, etc. have been the doing of our government and their allied nations (the gang of eight, I would suspect). They use these “rumored” situations as justification for going into other nations, including our own, to gain control, to takeover, and to bring the people of this world underneath the authority of this New World Order (Hitler-like regime). Yet, it is an act skillfully performed by a “dog” actor. His job is to “rattle,” and then the snake/spider bite is surely to follow.

To the Word

In Joel 1-2 we learn of a time coming on the earth in which a nation, comprised of a mighty army without number, will invade God’s “land.” He will use this “mighty army” as divine instruments of judgment against his nation (his people). From the time Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, was buried, rose again and ascended to heaven, God’s people have been true followers of Jesus Christ (Jew and Gentile alike) - the true church. The prophets of old prophesied concerning Jesus Christ (the Messiah), his death, resurrection, gospel, salvation, and of his coming judgment on his idolatrous people. The Jewish nation is no longer his people, though I believe a remnant will be saved in the final days before Christ’s return. Even if the nation of Israel turned to Christ and thus became his people once again, God would then have no cause to judge them for idolatry, unfaithfulness and spiritual adultery. Only those in relationship with Jesus Christ, as his bride, can be in spiritual adultery against God. So, I believe this coming judgment, which is supported scripturally by the OT prophets and the letters to the seven churches in Revelation, is against God’s idolatrous, rebellious, unrepentant and unfaithful people (see Rev. 2-3).

This judgment of God is unprecedented. Nothing like it has ever happened before in the history of man. This “mighty army” is described as having the teeth of a lion, and the “fangs” of a lioness. Snakes and spiders also have fangs, and venomous bites.

At the sight of them, nations are in anguish;

    every face turns pale.

They charge like warriors;

    they scale walls like soldiers.

They all march in line,

    not swerving from their course.

They do not jostle each other;

    each marches straight ahead.

They plunge through defenses

    without breaking ranks.

They rush upon the city;

    they run along the wall.

They climb into the houses;

    like thieves they enter through the windows.

Not only is this army physically destructive, but I also get the picture that it is spiritually destructive. This passage speaks of the “new wine” (the gospel) being snatched from the people’s lips. This brought to mind a news article I read today concerning words supposedly spoken by Mikey Weinstein, founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, in which he spoke about evangelical Christians as “monsters.” Apparently military chaplains can now be court-martialed if they share the gospel when they are counseling troops. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2013/04/28/Pentagon-Consults-Extremist-Who-Calls-Christians-Monsters-and-Enemies-of-the-Constitution-to-Develop-Religious-Tolerance-Policy

This is a call for repentance, and it is a wake-up call to all “drunkards,” i.e. those living self-indulgent lifestyles who value the things of this life more than they do the things of God. This is speaking about an invasion in America, as well as what is taking place already around the globe. It is also speaking of a time of great persecution against those who bear the cross of Christ (see Rev. 13). It will be a time of great anguish and distress unequaled. God is saying to his rebellious and unrepentant people of today, “Even now, return to me with your whole heart… rend your hearts and not your garments, …for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love.”

Why So Downcast? / An Original Work / December 21, 2012

Based off Psalm 42

Why so downcast, O my soul,

And why so disturbed now within me?

Put your hope in Jesus Christ,

For I will praise His name.

He’s my Savior and my God,

So therefore I’ll remember Him through

Storms and tempests sweeping o’er me.

Still I’ll praise His name.

Put your hope in God.

By day the Lord sends forth His love.

In the night His song is with me.

I pray to the God of my life.

I will praise His name. I say to God my Rock,

“Why must I be called to suffer this way?”

Foes attack me; Satan sneering.

Still I’ll praise my God.

Put your hope in Him.

As a deer pants for the waters,

So my soul pants for You, O God.

My soul thirsts for God who’s living.

When can I meet Him?

My tears have been my food at night,

When men say, “So, where is your God?”

I pour out my soul to my God.

I’ll still praise His name.

Shout with joy to Him.

Refined and Purified

Monday, April 29, 2013 – The Lord Jesus woke me with the song “In Faithfulness He Leads Me” playing in my mind. Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. I read Daniel 11-12: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%2011&version=NIV

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%2012&version=NIV

Sunday, March 11, 2012, 6:06 a.m. - When I read these two chapters, the latter part of chapter 11 and the whole of chapter 12 stood out to me, in particular, because it was dealing with the subject of the antichrist and the final period of time on the earth before the return of Christ. In reading these passages of scripture I saw that there was both a description of the characteristic traits and actions of the antichrist in these final days, as well as there was a description of the saints of God, their character traits, and their actions (or actions done to them). So, I will list them both and then will discuss some (not all) of them, as God leads and directs me to do so.

The antichrist:

• Will vent his fury against the holy covenant
• Will show favor to those who forsake the holy covenant
• His armed forces will desecrate the temple fortress and will abolish the daily sacrifice
• They (the armed forces?) will set up the abomination that causes desolation
• With flattery he will corrupt those who have violated the covenant
• Will do as he pleases.
• He will exalt and magnify himself above every god, and will say unheard-of things against the God of gods.
• Will be successful until the time of wrath is completed
• Will show no regard for the gods of his fathers
• Will honor the god of fortresses
• Will attack the mightiest fortresses with the help of a foreign god
• Will greatly honor those who acknowledge him – he will make them rulers over many people and will distribute the land at a price
• Will invade many countries and sweep through them like a flood & many will fall
• He will also invade the Beautiful Land
• Edom, Moab & the leaders of Ammon will be delivered from his hand – looks like modern-day Jordan and Saudi Arabia
• Will extend his power over many countries, incl. Egypt, Libya and Sudan (2011/12)
• Will set out in great rage to destroy and annihilate many
• Will come to his end

The saints of God:

• The people who know their God will firmly resist the antichrist king
• Those who are wise will instruct many
• They will be killed by sword or fire, captured and/or plundered
• When they fall (are persecuted), they receive a little help, but will be joined by many who are not sincere in their faith (like spies or private police, perhaps)
• They will face this persecution so that they may be refined, purified and made spotless until the time of the end
• Everyone whose name has been written in the book of life will be delivered from or through the time of great distress
• The dead in Christ will be raised to everlasting life (the other dead to shame and everlasting contempt)
• Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.
• Those who are wise will understand, but the wicked will not understand

Daniel 11:31-32 (NIV 1984): “His armed forces will rise up to desecrate the temple fortress and will abolish the daily sacrifice. Then they will set up the abomination that causes desolation. With flattery he will corrupt those who have violated the covenant, but the people who know their God will firmly resist him.”

“His armed forces will rise up to desecrate the temple fortress...” What if his armed forces are preachers and teachers in our modern-day churches? And, they are the ones desecrating the temple fortress and are abolishing the daily sacrifice? Remember that Jesus was speaking to his disciples, and that the Bible teaches that even the elect could be deceived. Deception is not obvious. It is stealthy, and it comes at us slowly and subtly, and it is disguised as truth. That is why we need to watch, to be on our guard, and to be alert, because our enemy is a lion prowling around seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). We need to be in God’s word daily!

The “holy place” used to be in a physical temple in which God’s Spirit dwelled. And, the temple of God used to be a physical building. Yet, when Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, that curtain that divided the people from direct access to God was torn in two. When Jesus ascended into heaven, he sent His Holy Spirit to indwell his followers, so that now the temple of God lives inside of those who truly put their faith and hope in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord (master) of their lives. And, now the “holy place” is in our hearts. And, we, the people of God, are his temple, the body of Christ – his church.

This temple fortress would thus be the gospel of Jesus Christ and our salvation. To desecrate something means to “insult something holy; to damage something sacred, or do something that is offensive to the religious nature of something” (Encarta). So for him to desecrate the present-day temple fortress means that he will do something offensive and damaging to the gospel of Jesus Christ, which is being done today. The Bible clearly teaches throughout the New Testament that the way in which we come to know Christ is by us forsaking our lives of sin, by being transformed in heart and mind by the power of the working of the Holy Spirit within us, and by us turning to walk in faithful obedience to Jesus Christ in taking on the “new man,” and in conforming to the likeness of Christ in his purity and holiness. We cannot truly come to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior absent of repentance (turning from sin) and obedience (turning to walk in faithful obedience to Christ and to his commands). Yet, a “gospel” is being preached throughout America’s churches, which teaches that repentance and obedience to Christ are not necessary for salvation and that God is pleased with us no matter what we do. This is the desecration of the temple fortress in the last days, because it has changed God’s grace into a license for immorality.

They… (his armed forces) will abolish the daily sacrifice. This was discussed in a previous writing, “The Daily Sacrifice:” “And, how has the daily sacrifice been taken away? Well, since Jesus’ sacrifice for our sins on the cross, the daily sacrifice has been described in Romans 12:1-2 as the presentation of our bodies as “living sacrifices, holy and acceptable to God, which is our reasonable service of worship.” And, we are “not to be conformed to the pattern of the world,” but we are to be “transformed by the renewing of our minds, so that we can prove what the will of God is, his good, pleasing, and perfect will.” Jesus said that if any man was to come after him that he must deny himself and take up his cross DAILY and follow HIM. This means that we must reject our old sinful lifestyles and sinful life patterns, and we must daily die to sin (repentance) and follow Jesus Christ in obedience if we are to truly be his disciples… Thus the stern-faced king removes the people’s need for this kind of daily sacrifice from the gospel of salvation, and truth is thrown to the ground, and people are given a false hope of salvation, which brings the true temple of God, his church, down low.”

Then they will set up the abomination that causes desolation. Abomination (definition) – “something that is immoral, disgusting, or shameful; an object of intense disapproval or dislike” (Encarta); “refers to foreign gods, their images, or related worship practices; denote improper ways of worshiping God” (Harper's Bible dictionary; 1985); “of idols and things pertaining to idolatry” (Strong’s Concordance).

So, if the “abomination that causes desolation” is standing (holding to a particular attitude, viewpoint or opinion) in the “holy place,” i.e. if it is taking a firm position in our hearts (the hearts of believers in Jesus), and “abomination” is directly related to idolatry, then this is speaking of God’s people, his church, living in idolatry against their holy God, with a refusal to repent, which is what brought destruction to God’s people all throughout Biblical history. The goal of the antichrist is to destroy the church. He will exalt himself over everything that is called God so that he sets himself up in God’s temple. So, if the temple is our hearts and collectively we are the church, then this is speaking of a person or entity of some kind that has taken a position in the church in authority over the authority of God. I can’t speak for other nations, but I do know that, in the USA, most institutional churches are under the authority of the government of the USA, and that authority supersedes God’s authority where God would tell his shepherd’s to speak on an issue that the government would forbid. So, in this sense, the US government has set itself up in the institutional church in the USA in a position of authority that is over the authority of God and is followed over God’s authority.

“With flattery he will corrupt those who have violated the covenant…” The covenant is our covenant relationship with Jesus Christ. We violate that covenant through continued, unrepentant sin, in particular the sin of spiritual adultery and idolatry (being worshipful toward other things or people over or in place of true worship of God). The government of the USA asks us for this kind of worship when they ask us to put our hands over our hearts and pledge allegiance (commitment; faithfulness; fidelity) to the government of our nation, and we do this inside the confines of the institutional church. Yet, this corruption is not confined merely to the government and to their authority, though it is highly possible that they have been behind much of the transition that has taken place within the church over the years with regard to the watering down of the gospel message and to replacing it with a social gospel that is less offensive to the listeners.

The church of the 21^st Century in America has been taken over (most, if not all) by man’s philosophies, marketing schemes, programs, goals, visions, purpose statements, etc., which are mainly based off of Marketing 101 classes that we now call “church planting seminars” or “church growth seminars.” Churches are run just like businesses and they use the same techniques, to gain people, as do worldly businesses, which definitely use “flattery” to gain people’s attention and acceptance. The gospel has been watered down in many churches to where it has no resemblance at all to the true gospel of Jesus Christ. And, the word “sin” has been replaced with “I messed up,” which feels as though it has a lesser offense to it.

… but the people who know their God will firmly resist him. Don’t let him find you spiritually asleep because you have fallen into deception. Be alert! Keep watch! Be on your guard! Ask the Lord for much discernment so that you are not deceived. Allow him to bring healing to your lives and to bring you back from the dead. Repent of your sins today, and turn to walk with Jesus Christ in faith and obedience and your faith will heal you.

Daniel 11: 33-35 (NIV 1984): “Those who are wise will instruct many, though for a time they will fall by the sword or be burned or captured or plundered. When they fall, they will receive a little help, and many who are not sincere will join them. Some of the wise will stumble, so that they may be refined, purified and made spotless until the time of the end, for it will still come at the appointed time.”

There are many viewpoints on when the saints of God will be taken to be with their Lord forever. Clearly there will be saints of God present during the time of tribulation for the beast will be given authority over them to conquer, persecute, imprison and kill them for their testimony for Jesus Christ. Some translations vary on whether the saints of God will be removed before things get really bad or whether or not they will be kept safe from God’s wrath during the time of tribulation while still facing the persecution and martyrdom brought about by the rule of the beast. This passage in Daniel clearly indicates that this final king will capture, plunder and kill God’s holy saints (true followers of Christ), and the purpose for them to go through this time of great suffering and persecution will be to refine, purify and to make spotless the Lord’s bride, his saints, for her wedding with her husband and King, Jesus Christ, when he returns. Knowing that God allows us to undergo such suffering for this reason should give us hope and encouragement during those very difficult and trying times when we face them. And, may we share in this prayer (in song) whenever we go through times of trial that test our faith, so that Christ may be seen in us.

The Daily Sacrifice

Friday, March 9, 2012, 7:47 a.m. – The Lord woke me this morning with the song, “Jesus, Lead Me,” playing in my mind. Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. I read Daniel 8 (NIV 1984): http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%208&version=NIV

The Interpretation of the Vision

  While I, Daniel, was watching the vision and trying to understand it, there before me stood one who looked like a man. And I heard a man’s voice from the Ulai calling, “Gabriel, tell this man the meaning of the vision.”

  As he came near the place where I was standing, I was terrified and fell prostrate. “Son of man,” he said to me, “understand that the vision concerns the time of the end.”

  While he was speaking to me, I was in a deep sleep, with my face to the ground. Then he touched me and raised me to my feet.

  He said: “I am going to tell you what will happen later in the time of wrath, because the vision concerns the appointed time of the end. The two-horned ram that you saw represents the kings of Media and Persia. The shaggy goat is the king of Greece, and the large horn between his eyes is the first king. The four horns that replaced the one that was broken off represent four kingdoms that will emerge from his nation but will not have the same power.

  “In the latter part of their reign, when rebels have become completely wicked, a stern-faced king, a master of intrigue, will arise. He will become very strong, but not by his own power. He will cause astounding devastation and will succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy the mighty men and the holy people. He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior. When they feel secure, he will destroy many and take his stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be destroyed, but not by human power.

  “The vision of the evenings and mornings that has been given you is true, but seal up the vision, for it concerns the distant future.”

  I, Daniel, was exhausted and lay ill for several days. Then I got up and went about the king’s business. I was appalled by the vision; it was beyond understanding.

My Understanding: Daniel had a vision. He saw himself in what is now Iran. He was near the Iranian/Iraqi border, not far from the Persian Gulf. He saw a ram with two horns. It appears this ram symbolizes this area of the world (Iraq, Iran, and possibly Afghanistan). In history, around 334 B.C., Alexander the Great (of Greece) conquered the entirety of the Persian Empire – including what is now today: Turkey, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Israel, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, etc. Notice with me how many of these countries have recently had uprisings and how many of them are now under (or is in the works of being under) a “national unity government.” In 2010: Afghanistan. In 2011: Tunisia, Egypt, Gaza Strip, West Bank, Turkey, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, Yemen, and Greece, etc. In 2012: Syria (in process). I know there are others, too. Iran is being targeted presently, as well.

This kind of unity (government, et al) here is forced unity through intimidation, deceit, false teaching, man-made rules, unnatural disasters, war, uprisings, conflict, etc. This kind of forced unity is taking place inside the institutional church, as well as the institution of the N.W.O./NATO is forcing it upon the governments of the world. Yet, this is not the kind of unity spoken about in the Bible, nor the kind God intends for us to have. This is about bringing the nations of the world under one global rule of government, and it is about bringing the various religions of the world under a one-world religion that shows tolerance and acceptance of other religions, and does not try to convert people to faith in Christ.

The US government and their allies have gone into these various countries listed above, some of them under the guise of national uprisings, supposedly with the mission of helping them to resolve their internal conflicts and to help them form “democratic” governments; some of them under the guise of going after “terrorist” threats to the USA; and still others as purported “rescue” efforts following supposed natural disasters. Yet this is a revival of Alexander the Great’s empire, and we are the conquerors. So, the goat today is world powers (the USA and allies, or the U.N. or the New World Order, of which we are a part). The Lord has shown me previously that the large horn between the eyes of the goat, which represents the first king of Greece, represents Roosevelt and/or the U.S. government in these last days, beginning with Roosevelt’s presidency. He instituted the United Nations which is divided into four kingdoms – Asia, Africa, the Americas and Europe.

NATO, which is the military force of the New World Order, in July of 2011, in Afghanistan alone, had 90,000 US troops, compared to 10,000 from Great Britain and 5,000 or less each from 5 other countries. So, the USA comprises well over half the NATO troops in Afghanistan, and less than half of the troops come from other countries. So, if the goat is this New World Order, and NATO is its military force, and US troops comprise well over 50% of the NATO troops in Afghanistan, then it appears the US could be the prominent horn, that it will be broken off, and it will be taken over by other nations and divided up (parceled out). Or the horn represents Roosevelt, who instituted the U.N., and the four horns represent the four continents of the world, out of which will arise this stern-faced king.

The Stern-faced King

The stern-faced king, a master of intrigue and deception, will become strong, but not by his own power. He will cause astounding devastation and will succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy military troops (even those of his own nation) and he will destroy God’s holy people, God’s true church. He will trample on the saints of God (true followers of Jesus Christ who bear his testimony). He will set himself up to be as great as Jesus Christ, he will remove from him the daily sacrifice, and he will bring the place of his sanctuary low. The host of the saints, on which he will trample, and the daily sacrifice will be given over to this king, and under his leadership, truth will be thrown to the ground.

When we think today of God’s sanctuary, what comes to mind? Many people think of church buildings and their “sanctuaries”. This is far from the truth. God no longer dwells in buildings built by human hands. He dwells in human hearts – the hearts of those who are truly his. So, we, “the holy people” are the sanctuary of God. So, how has it been brought low in the U.S.? By taking it back in time and making it into a building, a form of worship, a business, private (members only) clubs, and by bringing it under the regulation of the US government, whose authority supersedes that of Jesus Christ when it comes to decisions concerning what the institutional church can and cannot do and can and cannot preach from the pulpit. That sounds a whole lot like the king setting himself up to be as great as Christ.

And, how has the daily sacrifice been taken away? Well, since Jesus’ sacrifice for our sins on the cross, the daily sacrifice has been described in Romans 12:1-2 as the presentation of our bodies as “living sacrifices, holy and acceptable to God, which is our reasonable service of worship.” And, we are “not to be conformed to the pattern of the world,” but we are to be “transformed by the renewing of our minds, so that we can prove what the will of God is, his good, pleasing, and perfect will.” Jesus said that if any man was to come after him that he must deny himself and take up his cross DAILY and follow HIM. This means that we must reject our old sinful lifestyles and sinful life patterns, and we must daily die to sin (repentance) and follow Jesus Christ in obedience if we are to truly be his disciples.

This teaching on the daily sacrifice, though, has been replaced by teaching that tells people that repentance and obedience to Christ are not necessary for salvation, and that God is pleased with us no matter what we do, so that many professing “believers” in Christ do not see the necessity of this “daily sacrifice.” Their relationship with Jesus is often confined to a worship service once a week and not to a personal, vital, daily, obedient relationship to God. Thus the stern-faced king removes the people’s need for this kind of daily sacrifice from the gospel of salvation, and truth is thrown to the ground, and people are given a false hope of salvation, which brings the true temple of God, his church, down low.

As well, he tramples on the saints of God through persecution. Those who hold to the truth of the gospel and believe Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven, are ostracized, criticized, rejected, ridiculed, mocked, and are falsely accused of being “disunifiers, fault finders and grumblers and complainers.” And, they are invited to leave many institutionalized churches, because the leaders are afraid they might tell the people the truth about the gospel and might offend some people. They will even be accused of being terrorists because they stand for the truth of the gospel and they are opposed to the rule of the beast, and they will be imprisoned and even killed for their faith, because they have not joined in with the New World Order and with this unifying of religions and agreement to not share the gospel.

I don’t know where we are exactly in time with respect to the time of tribulation in the final days before Christ’s return, but what I do know is that the things talked about in Daniel 8 are happening in real time in 2012. We need Jesus Christ to lead us, to be our strength, and to open our eyes to the truth of what is going on in our world, so that we are not among the ones who are being deceived. We need him to fill us with his truth. And, we need to obey what he shows us. If you have not yet turned from your sin and turned to walk in faithful obedience to Jesus Christ, I pray you will do that today. Time is running out.

Be Still, My Soul

Be Still, My Soul / Katharina von Schlegel / Jean Sibelius

Be still, my soul: the Lord is on your side.

Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;

leave to your God to order and provide;

in every change God faithful will remain.

Be still, my soul: your best, your heavenly friend

through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

Be still, my soul: your God will undertake

to guide the future, as in ages past.

Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake;

all now mysterious shall be bright at last.

Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know

the Christ who ruled them while he dwelt below.

Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on

when we shall be forever with the Lord,

when disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,

sorrow for forgot, love's purest joys restored.

Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past,

all safe and blessed we shall meet at last. 

Clandestine and Subversive

Friday, April 26, 2013, 8:00 p.m. – I lay down for a rest at 6:30 p.m. and woke at 8:00 p.m. Either I was dreaming, or as I woke I had a vision, but what I saw was a person’s face swollen from bee stings. Then I heard the name of a woman. Then, this song began playing in my mind:

Above All / Artist: Michael W. Smith

Crucified laid behind the stone
You lived to die rejected and alone
Like a Rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all…

Ants and Spider Eggs

Earlier in the day I had gone out to the store to purchase some items and to get something to eat. When I got home I pushed my remote to open the garage door when to my surprise something dropped down from above the door to the ground below. So, after I parked the car, I got out to look at what it was. There was a whole bunch of ants individually carrying what appeared to be a whole lot of spider eggs, which they had evidently found in the crevices between the garage door and the door frame. And, they were using the top of the door or door frame as a path for them to carry these spider eggs, probably back to their ant colonies.

The thought did not cross my mind to step on these eggs, as certainly left alive, they would produce multiple spiders, yet I did take a broom and swept them all out into the driveway and swept above the door and in the crevices where there were spider webs so as to send them all outside the garage. I assume the ants continued from there to gather the eggs once again and to transport them to wherever they intended to take them in the first place.

As I began this evening to research this very short vision, I was led back to this real life allegory which also serves the same purpose as a vision as it illustrates a Biblical truth in all practicality to our world today.

Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. I read Daniel 7 (NIV): http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%207&version=NIV

Daniel’s Dream

Daniel had a dream. He saw the four winds of heaven churning up the sea and four great beasts coming up out of the sea. The first beast was like a lion, the second, like a bear, and the third, like a leopard. John, as recorded in Revelation 13, had a similar vision of a beast coming out of the sea. It resembled a leopard, had feet like a bear and a mouth like a lion. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns. One of the heads of this beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. Daniel’s fourth beast had ten horns, as well, and then a little horn came up from among them and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. Daniel was dreaming about this last earthly kingdom which will rule right before the return and reign of Christ and his kingdom on the earth, and which John wrote about, and we can read about in the book of Revelation.

“I, Daniel, was troubled in spirit, and the visions that passed through my mind disturbed me. I approached one of those standing there and asked him the meaning of all this.

“So he told me and gave me the interpretation of these things: ‘The four great beasts are four kings that will rise from the earth. But the holy people of the Most High will receive the kingdom and will possess it forever—yes, for ever and ever.’

“Then I wanted to know the meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others and most terrifying, with its iron teeth and bronze claws—the beast that crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left. I also wanted to know about the ten horns on its head and about the other horn that came up, before which three of them fell—the horn that looked more imposing than the others and that had eyes and a mouth that spoke boastfully. As I watched, this horn was waging war against the holy people and defeating them, until the Ancient of Days came and pronounced judgment in favor of the holy people of the Most High, and the time came when they possessed the kingdom.

“He gave me this explanation: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it. The ten horns are ten kings who will come from this kingdom. After them another king will arise, different from the earlier ones; he will subdue three kings. He will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people and try to change the set times and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time.

“‘But the court will sit, and his power will be taken away and completely destroyed forever. Then the sovereignty, power and greatness of all the kingdoms under heaven will be handed over to the holy people of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will worship and obey him.’

“This is the end of the matter. I, Daniel, was deeply troubled by my thoughts, and my face turned pale, but I kept the matter to myself.”

Bee Stings and Cells

Bees are flying insects. “Some species of bees have stingers, and some live in hives (home; colony; nest) and produce honey.” (Encarta) “The beehive's internal structure is a densely-packed matrix of hexagonal cells made of beeswax, called a honeycomb. The bees use the cells to store food (honey and pollen) and to house the "brood" (eggs, larvae, and pupae)” - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beehive.

A stinger can be a hurtful or critical comment or a sharp blow or slap that causes a smarting pain, or it can be an undercover law enforcement officer. And, a sting can be an undercover operation and/or an orchestrated and “underhanded scheme, especially a carefully planned and orchestrated swindle.” (Source: Encarta)

A cell can be a “small group of individuals who work together for clandestine” (secret) “or subversive” (designed to overthrow a government) “purposes” - http://www.militaryfactory.com/dictionary/military-terms-defined.asp?term_id=878. Interestingly enough an egg can also be called an “egg cell.”

Ok, what I am seeing here, I believe, is that the Lord is combining this vision about bee stings, and the woman’s name, with this situation I found when I returned home this afternoon and discovered these ants and spider eggs dropping down from above to the ground from my garage door.

Bees live in hives (colonies) and ants live in colonies. Ants are sometimes called soldiers. An ant is “an insect that lives in complex well-organized colonies and is noted for its ability to carry objects heavier than itself. Male ants have wings, as do fertile female queens after mating” (Encarta). Ants, evidently, belong to the same family (order) as bees.

I believe these bees are undercover operatives and the stings are these undercover operations and “carefully planned and orchestrated swindles.” These “bees” live in colonies or cells and they work together for secret purposes designed to overthrow governments, and this case, the U.S. government, i.e. our form of government in the U.S., such as our constitution and laws. I believe they are also these spider eggs being carried (transported) by these ants (soldiers/military), and that they are dropping out of the sky (parachuted, perhaps) down to the ground in order to perform their undercover missions (operations) which have as their sole purpose the takeover of America. A spider is often associated with evil and venom, but what comes to mind here is Hitler’s Swastika (the black spider).

According to the following article, the swastika was adopted by Hitler for use with a “quasi-military force.” “It was sort of a ‘murderers army.’” I think that is what these “cells” are, i.e. these spider eggs and these bee hives, i.e. they represent hidden and secret colonies of a “quasi-military force” assisted by the U.S. and/or the International Troops, and their sole purpose, again, is the takeover of, in this case, the United States of America. [Source: http://www.intelinet.org/swastika/swas_freikorps.html] They are like a military privatized police force specifically for subversive purposes and they dwell in secret (hidden from plain site) colonies, evidently, until the door is opened for them to drop out of the sky onto the ground to do their stuff.

So, if a person’s face (character) is swollen, it becomes larger; puffed up. So, these “stings” from these “bees” are causing the character of someone to become “puffed up.” So, who would get puffed up with pride over these stings? – Only those who have successfully pulled off these secretive and subversive undercover and underhanded operations, which goes back to the military who are carrying (transporting) these cells to their places of operation. Yet, the operatives themselves could get puffed up with pride for their successful performances. This brings me next to the woman’s name. Her name is Heather.

In looking at the news today, I discovered that the top story was of a woman named Heather who supposedly had her foot seriously injured in the bombing in Boston to the point to where she had to have the foot amputated. This has thrust her into the limelight. I had this image of Heather as “leaping or bounding forward,” kind of like those ants transporting those spider eggs bounded forward from the top of my garage door to the ground below. It was as though this opening of this garage (storage cell, perhaps) door released these soldier ants and these spider (Hitler-like) cells, i.e. they are now operational in America.

So, I am seeing a parallel here between this name “Heather” – possibly related to this specific woman – and this privatized secret undercover militarized police force of a Hitler-like regime. That takes me to previous dreams where the Lord showed me how the name Heather is related to a Prussianized army (i.e. of authoritarian control and rigid discipline in character). Then this goes back to the face stung by the bees, because a face has to do with character, so this face is not only puffed up but it has taken the character (mark) of this autocratic rule, i.e. of this New World Order (or “the beast”).

Saturday, April 27, 2013, 8:30 a.m. – the Lord Jesus woke me with the song “Trust Him” playing in my mind. Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.

Dream Interpretation

The main interpretation of Daniel’s dream centers around this 4^th earthly kingdom and the “little horn,” and then focuses on the kingdom reign of Christ to follow, of which true followers of Christ Jesus – the holy people of the Most High - will receive and will possess forever, Amen!  The good news is that this 4^th beast will only be given authority over the saints of God for a short period of time, and then God will judge his divine instruments of judgment and his/their power will be taken away and completely destroyed forever, amen!

This fourth beast parallels over to the first beast in Revelation 13 – both out of the sea. This global empire – 4^th beast - is most terrifying. It crushes and devours its victims and tramples underfoot whatever is left. A horn is symbolic of rule and authority, so out of this global empire will rise (or has already risen) a “little horn” – a king, perhaps, or a specific cell within this global empire. This “little horn” was (and is) waging war against the true saints of God, i.e. true followers of Jesus Christ. He will defeat the saints of God, not spiritually, but will conquer them through persecution, beatings, imprisonments and death in order to attempt to kill Jesus again. This fourth beast will devour the whole earth, i.e. it is a global empire (the New World Order). This king – the “little horn” – will oppress God’s people, true followers of Christ, and will try to change the set times and laws.

This 4^th kingdom will be unified and extremely well organized (like a bee hive or an ant colony). It will bring all other nations/governments in subjugation to it. I believe God has been showing me for some time that this has already been taking place in the other nations of the world and now it has come home to America. I believe the Lord has been showing me for some time that the U.S. government and their military are central to the success of this global empire, which is run by elitist and wealthy aristocrats. So, our government and military have taken the lead, it appears, in this crushing and devouring of victims worldwide and the trampling underfoot of whatever is left. And, out of this global kingdom has come a king who will suppress, persecute and even kill true followers of Jesus Christ. Our government in the U.S., I believe, is part of this kingdom and that we are helping to facilitate this “king” in this global domination.

The Little Horn

This “king” is leading in a revival of the Roman Empire or the Persian Empire or the Babylonian Empire, or perhaps a combination of all 3 as Revelation 13 may suggest. The Lord Jesus has also shown me many times over that part of this “little horn” is this revival of a Hitler-like regime, i.e. this Prussianized army of “ants” (international forces/military) and a privatized, secretive “quasi-military” police force designed for the sole purpose of overthrowing governments, including our own form of government (changing laws), i.e. the “spider eggs” (see swastika). This is a dictatorship, an autocratic regime that is engulfing the nations of the world one piece at a time, and now it is America’s turn to be bitten.

This woman “Heather” (not the one from the news but from my vision) is the wife of a pastor of someone I know. That someone’s name has been used in previous dreams to symbolize the institutional church here in America “married” to the U.S. government (the sun god – see Washington monument). This institutional church is sensual, fleshly, intellectually “enlightened,” is idolatrous, and is a combination of different religious and philosophical belief systems and practice, i.e. it is pagan in nature because it incorporates idolatry, worldliness and false teachings and men’s philosophies and marketing schemes in with the teachings of scripture. A pastor is a shepherd. Jesus is the husband and true shepherd of the true church, his body, but the U.S. government is the husband and shepherd of the institutional church here in America, in which much of the true church also presides. The “wife” of the U.S. government is this New World Order, and/or this Prussianized army – Heather.

Based upon previous dreams and visions the Lord Jesus has given me, I believe that God is using our government and president, military (international) and this privatized police force as arms (or branches) of this New World Order in conquering nations, including now our own, but also in judgment against the idolatrous – Eros – institutional church here in America, and that the result will be that the church will be revived and the gospel will go throughout the entire earth and that people from all nations will come to Jesus Christ, to the gospel, to the kingdom of heaven and to the true church (see the prophecies of Isaiah). Yet, the church will come under severe persecution during this time, and I believe that is fast approaching here in America.

Basically what I believe the Lord Jesus is showing me here, and I certainly don’t have perfect understanding of it all, appears to be that this privatized and secretive quasi-military police force (in cells) includes actors and actresses who are being used for the sole purpose of deception, propaganda, and to convince the American people that we are under terrorist threat and that we need more security, gun control, forced mental evaluations, etc. In other words, some of these “threats” may be well-acted out plays to give our government the authority to bring this nation under a totalitarian regime and martial law. And, the Heather in the news who supposedly had her foot injured in the purported bombings in Boston and thus had it amputated, may very well be one of these little spiders within these spider cells being carried along by our military. This calls for much discernment and prayer.

Also, I noticed an article in the news purporting that a plane part from the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center Twin Towers somehow fell from the sky and lodged itself between this location of a proposed mosque (Muslim) and a luxury high-rise apartment building. When I read this in the news I noted how the spider eggs in my garage (a place of storage) were in the crevices between the door and the door frame to the garage (place of storage). Now, this is where it gets interesting. A door is an opening or an entrance or access to something. In this case, the door provided access to both the garage and the outside. A frame is symbolic of a structure, agenda, and/or charter of an organization, or it can be a trick/set up. So these spider cells were positioned philosophically, perhaps, between the agenda of this New World Order and the access or opening to actually fulfill the agenda.

In other words, the framework (and/or trick/set up) provided the agenda and the door (i.e.  these “terrorist activities” in our nation) provided the access to carry out the agenda, and these spider cells are instrumental in the fulfillment of the agenda (part of the trick). So, this takes me back to both Heather and to this story of a plane part wedged between these two buildings. Heather represents these spider cells, so a parallel would mean that this plane part that fell from the sky (like these spider eggs fell from the top of my garage door) is all part of the agenda, the framework, the trick or set up, and the access to carrying out the agenda of the New World Order in conquering the nations of this world and to the rise of the beast. Ask yourself, “Who is being ‘set up’ in both 9/11 and the Boston bombings to take the fall?” And, how does this fit with a Mosque and a luxury high-rise building? There are messages in these things, I guarantee you, as the N.W.O. loves to leave “calling cards.” Again, pray over these things and ask the Lord for wisdom. And, don’t be afraid of what is most surely to come, but put your trust solely in God/Jesus Christ.

As Did Daniel

Friday, April 26, 2013, 6:37 a.m. – the Lord Jesus woke me with the song “Nothing Can Separate Us” playing in my mind. Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. I read Daniel 6 (NIV): http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%206&version=NIV

The Administrators

Darius was king. He appointed 120 satraps to rule throughout the kingdom, and he appointed 3 administrators over the satraps. Daniel was one of the three administrators appointed by Darius. Because of Daniel’s exceptional qualities, the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom. This didn’t set very well with the other administrators or with the satraps. It sounds like they were envious, i.e. jealous of him. So, they devised a plan to try to find grounds for charges against Daniel, but their planned backfired, i.e. there were no grounds. He was completely trustworthy. So, they had to come up with a Plan B. And, they did!

In Plan B they went to the king and talked him into issuing an edict and to enforcing “the decree that anyone who prays to any god or human being during the next thirty days, except to” the king should be thrown into a den of lions. The decree, once in effect, could not be altered and could not be repealed by law. So, the king listened to his advisers and did what they recommended. Bad, bad decision!

Now, I love this next part!!

Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before.

Awesome! He did not bow to the gods of men! He did not back down in his faith. He didn’t cower in fear and deny his God out of fear for his life. He continued to do what was his practice to do every day, and he did so without fear of reprisal, because he put his trust in Almighty God! Amen!!

So, these evil conspirators went as a group and found Daniel doing what they knew, apparently, was his daily practice. They found him praying and asking God for help. So these sneaky fellas went to the king and told on Daniel. The king obviously admired and respected Daniel or he would not have been considering putting the whole land underneath his authority. So, it distressed him greatly that he had been talked into issuing such an edict and that he was thus bound by law to carry it out against Daniel. Yet, the king did everything he knew to do to try to save Daniel, but to no avail. The law must stand! The men even had the gall to go to the king to remind him that his edict could not be changed, as though he needed that reminder.

The Lion’s Den

So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions’ den. The king said to Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!”

A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the rings of his nobles, so that Daniel’s situation might not be changed. Then the king returned to his palace and spent the night without eating and without any entertainment being brought to him. And he could not sleep.

At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the lions’ den. When he came near the den, he called to Daniel in an anguished voice, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to rescue you from the lions?”

Daniel answered, “May the king live forever! My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I ever done any wrong before you, Your Majesty.”

The king was overjoyed and gave orders to lift Daniel out of the den. And when Daniel was lifted from the den, no wound was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.

Awesome! Don’t you just love it? God protected him from the lions’ mouths just like he protected Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the fiery furnace. In both cases they came out unharmed as a testimony to God’s saving grace and to their trust in God.

Our Example(s)

So, should we take this story as a promise from God Almighty that if we put our faith and hope in Jesus Christ that no harm will ever come to us? NO! Why do I say that? Let me give you some examples from the New Testament, Jesus Christ being the prime example.

Jesus Christ, God the Son (sinless) was often criticized for his ministry, was accused of being Satan and/or of Satan and of his demons, and thought crazy by his family members who were embarrassed for him. Isaiah prophesied about him that he was a man of sorrows and acquainted with suffering, like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised and rejected of men. His own disciples did not believe him part or half of the time, his brothers definitely didn’t believe him and mocked him, and the religious leaders of his day (and of his religion/faith) were continually on his tail trying to trip him up and to find some cause to accuse him to the people, and they were all the time attacking him for ministering to people’s needs on the Sabbath.

Then the religious leaders conspired against him, one of his disciples betrayed him into their hands, the other disciples and his closest companions all fled, deserted and abandoned him, and one of them vehemently denied him three times when asked if he was one of Jesus’ disciples. He was arrested and falsely accused, although he had committed no wrong (no sin was found in him). He was given a bogus trial. He was mocked, spat upon, ridiculed, beaten and then hung on a tree to die as though he was a common criminal. Those who had once waved palm branches and sang his praises were now shouting “Crucify him!”

When he died he took upon himself the sins of the entire world. But, praise God he did not remain dead. He rose from the dead triumphant over the grave, death, Satan and sin. Amen! He conquered sin so that we could be free from slavery to sin day-to-day, and so we could be free from the penalty of eternal damnation, and so we could be free to walk in freedom, fellowship, holiness, righteousness, faithfulness and obedience to our God. That is awesome! “Oh what fellowship; oh what joy divine, leaning on the everlasting arms” of Jesus!

Trust in God

Since that time, many of Jesus’ followers throughout history have had to endure similar suffering, persecution and even death for their testimonies for Jesus Christ. Jesus promised us that we would be hated as he was hated, and that we would have to endure much of the same type of suffering he went through on our behalf, and because of his name, and because of our testimony for the gospel of Jesus Christ. Yet, there may be times when he may physically rescue us from situations and from harm, but we should not count on it or expect that to be the norm, especially if we are out sharing the true gospel every day. And, we should know that if we are not rescued like Daniel was that it does not mean necessarily that we are not putting our faith and trust in Jesus Christ, though it could mean that at times.

Yet, even if he does not rescue us physically from harm or even emotionally from persecution and hatred against us, know that he is with us always if we are his true followers and disciples. He will never leave us or forsake us. And, nothing can ever separate us from his love! We are conquerors through him who loves us!! He will give us all we need to endure suffering, persecution, and attacks from the enemy; to combat fear, and to continue to stand strong in our faith, as did Daniel, even in the face of great opposition.

Nothing Can Separate Us / An Original Work / March 28, 2013

Based off Romans 8:28-39

Nothing can separate us

From Christ’s love now within us:

Not trouble, hardship, nor famine,

Nor danger, nor sword.

No, in all of these things

We are more than conquerors!

For your sake we face hardship.

We are sheep to be slaughtered.

I am convinced that death,

Nor life, nor anything else

Will separate us from

The love of God now in Christ.

What, then, shall we say to this?

God for us: who against us?

He who did not spare His Son

But gave Him for us all –

How will He not, with Him,

Graciously give us all things?

Who brings a charge against us?

God justifies His chosen.

Who is He that condemns?

Christ Jesus; died, rose again.

He’s at the right hand of God,

Interceding for us.

The Replay

Thursday, April 25, 2013, 1:31 a.m. – Sometime between 11 p.m. and 11:25 p.m. on Wednesday, April 24, 2013, I had a vision.

THE VISION: I saw baseball players on a field. It looked like they were on the pitcher’s mound. There were maybe 3 or 4 players in sight. They were wearing dark blue hats. Then, the pitcher raised his leg. It was like there was an explosion. This replayed over several times.

That faded away and then I saw a man on a boat. He was wearing what appeared to be a hat or a visor, like a captain’s hat or something a yacht owner might wear. The man appeared to be a senior citizen with white or grey hair. I heard in my mind “high speed chase,” and this was followed by something like “to the death.” This also replayed several times over in my mind.

Then, I saw the faces of politicians, maybe those in Congress. The faces were familiar looking. Then I saw Barack Obama front and center, and I heard someone singing in a kind of slow drawn-out chant, “Barack Obama, he’s our king. Barack Obama, he’s our king.”

Then I saw a woman in a hospital. She was on a high-up floor. It appeared as though someone had cut off her head, i.e. had decapitated her, only her head was still there. This also replayed over and over again all the while I kept hearing someone sing this slow drawn-out song/chant: “Barack Obama, he’s our king.”

This song kept replaying in my mind until finally I said, “Well, he’s not my king! Jesus Christ is my only king!” Then the chanting stopped. END

Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. I read Daniel 4 (NIV): http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%204&version=NIV

I did make a connection immediately between the baseball players standing in the middle of this field and King Neb’s vision (dream) of a tree standing in the middle of the land. I also checked out the news. I read these news stories for April 24, 2013 and April 25, 2013:

5:03 p.m. – the Lord Jesus woke me around 6:30 this morning with the song “Realizing” playing in my mind. Then, I spent the day reading and researching and discovering what I believe is the message behind this vision, though I don’t have complete understanding of every aspect of it. Yet, I will share what I do understand.

The Ball Game

The baseball represents the foundation (base) or main source of this global (round/ball) order and/or sphere of influence in America and in the world. The players (participants and/or actors) are wearing dark blue hats. The color blue is central to the United Nations, NATO, the Department of Homeland Security, The U.N. Security Council, The Clinton Global Initiative - http://www.clintonglobalinitiative.org/, the European Union, et al, i.e. it appears to be the central color associated with this global order. A hat is a symbol of authority and rule (like a crown) and it is worn on the heads of these players. A head is also someone who is in authority and rule.

The players were on this mound and a mound is a small hill, which could be symbolic of Capital Hill, especially since I saw images of political figures from Congress in the vision. So, there are two levels of authority pictured here, i.e. the players on the mound and the hats of blue in authority over the players, i.e. the U.S. government and this global order respectively. A hat can also be a cap, which can symbolize limit, control, restraint and/or restriction, i.e. these blue “hats” represent a dictatorship and/or an autocracy. Yet, I also noticed from reading the news article about the baseball game that these baseball players are paid professionals, which would make the batters paid professional “hit men.”

When I saw the pitcher on the mound raise his leg, as in pitching the ball, perhaps, I saw what looked like an explosion. This happened multiple times. A pitcher is someone who throws the ball to the batter, who then puts the ball into play. A pitcher can also be someone who tries to sell something. A batter is someone who hits repeatedly and/or causes damage (attacks) with heavy blows. Ok, so if the baseball represents the basis of this global order, then the pitcher, it would seem, is trying to sell someone on the idea by way of the batter (by repeated strikes/hits/attacks/heavy blows). This, then, takes me back to these news stories, especially the one about the explosions on these fuel barges. Yet, it could apply, as well, to the bombings in Boston, the shooting in Illinois, the explosion at that fertilizer plant in Texas, and this building that collapsed in Bangladesh, et al. In other words, this global order works much like the Mafia, hiring hit men to attack businesses, countries, states, people, etc. in order to “sell” this global order (security/protection).

The Baseball

The baseball represents the foundation (base or important component) of this global order. It appears to me that some of the remainder of this vision thus deals specifically with that foundation, which is what I’ve been reading about all day. When I began to look at this man on the boat, the baseball team and the woman up-high in the hospital, each one of these led me to one name – Vanderbilt. The Vanderbilt baseball team’s main color and hat color is dark blue, there is a Vanderbilt hospital in Nashville, TN, and the Vanderbilt dynasty started off (the foundation) with steamboats, shipping and railroad empires. He was from New York (like the New York Mets), too.

In reading about his life, several sources stated that he made it rich from blackmail. This source - http://www.texemarrs.com/112008/where_rich_famous_dwell.htm - states that he consulted demonic spirits before making financial decisions and that he manipulated the stock market. The article states: “The Vanderbilts’ Biltmore Estate openly displays gargoyles and horned devils in stone, paintings of ancient Mystery Religion gods and goddesses, and witchcraft furnishings.” Yet, whether or not the Vanderbilt family laid the foundation for this “baseball,” what is clear to me is that the foundation that was laid was that of corruption, deceit, lies, betrayal, blackmail, manipulation, demonic spirits, witchcraft and false gods. The New York Times nicknamed him “the robber baron.” Evidently he had fierce means of dealing with (punishing) his competitors. [Source: http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/v/cornelius_vanderbilt/index.html] So, again, he represents the foundation of this global order and their ways of dealing with all who do not cooperate (yield control).

The Woman

The woman high up in the hospital has appeared in other dreams. In a previous dream, which I believe fits very well with this passage in Daniel, she and some others were pruning a big tree. Remember that King Neb saw himself as a tree in his vision/dream. The tree was standing in the middle of the land. It was eventually cut down to a stump. The baseball players on the pitcher’s mound in my vision were standing in the middle of a playing field (field of competition). It appears to me that they may represent Congress. The players were on a mound (a hill). In this previous dream the tree was on a slight hill (like a mound). This woman’s name means “nobleman.” Remember that the New York Times referred to Vanderbilt as “the robber baron.” A baron is a nobleman. A nobleman is a man who belongs to a titled aristocracy. This “baseball” is also associated with “aristocracy.”

This woman also has an association with the words “kill” and “gore.” It appeared to me, in this dream of four years ago this May, that the “pruning” she was doing involved the taking of human life and the shedding of blood and that it was being done by a fellow American, and who is an aristocrat in the sense of being a political figure here in the USA. I also noted that in this previous dream that there was a sense, at that time, that what I was seeing was future (in the distance), only now the picture I am getting is that what I saw four years ago is now a reality. This woman represents this aristocracy (represented by the blue hats) which is being used as a divine instrument of God to “prune” this tree (America), and this aristocracy (the boat captain; the baseball; the blue hats; the woman) is in a high speed chase (competition) to the death with America as we know it. And, I believe that is represented by all these recent news stories of explosions, bombings, mass shootings, et al.

The decapitation of the woman that sent a serious wound to her head didn’t kill her. She recovered, and her head was still in place. What came to mind here is the scripture where it says: “One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast.” And, “It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed.” [Rev. 13] And, this fits with the idea of “replay,” i.e. starting over or history repeating itself.

Conclusion

I believe we are seeing the rise of the beast, that he is gaining power, and that he is doing it through whatever means it takes to eliminate the competition so he can be in control, just like was modeled by Vanderbilt. I personally see Obama as a puppet of the beast or perhaps he is the image. I don’t have all the answers on that one. I just know that for some time the Lord has shown me Obama as king of the world. One day he will be cut down. Jesus is calling out to every one of us to realize what all he has done for us and to respond appropriately, i.e. to make him king of our hearts and lives instead of placing our trust in humans. Humans will fail us. God will never fail us! He is faithful in all He does!!

Realizing / An Original Work / May 14, 2011

Realizing what He did for you

Should cause you to walk with Him in truth.

Trust in Him to be your Lord today.

Turn from sin; obey without delay.

Realizing He died on a tree,

So that from sin you could be set free,

Should bring you down upon bended knee,

Repentant; humbly; submissively.

Realizing that He loves us so,

Which is why, to the cross He did go,

Is what leads us to salvation free,

Through our faith in Jesus Christ our King.
